Prize Essay on Butter Making.

The following essay, by Mrs. W, f.
Bush. OF Sparta. Wis, won the prize
offered by the Wisconsin Dairymen's
association.
Having provided good butter cows,
|. Keep them in clean, warm, VEN
tilated stables in hot and cold weather.
,. Treat gently; feed, water and
milk regularly.
3. Food in winter: corn. oats
ground. with mixed bran, scald and
salt occasionally; also carrots. pump
kins. good timothy, clover and corn
stalks. Avoid turnips, cabbage and
decaying vegetables.
4. Food in summer: good pasture
and fodder corn.
). Pure water at all times.
6. Scrupulous cleansing of all uten-
sis.
I. Milk rapidly and quietly in a
pail that strains while milking. or COW
er the pail with folds of mosquito net
ting Restrain through both wire and
cloth into deep cans.
s. Reduce and hold temperature at
30 degrees.
9. Skim sweet.
10. Keep cream at moderate tenn
perature until thickened. which indi
Gates sufficient acidity.
II. Air by frequent stirring.
II. Churn in summer in early
morning every other day, Sunday ex-
cepted. In winter not less than semi
weekly. Temperature 60 degrees.
10. Stop churning when in the
granular state, draw buttermilk and
add weak brine. Place white, rather

Keep Bees.

We advise every farmer to keep bees,
not only for the money it may bring,
but for the qualification Of his family.
We advise it, as We do the growing OF
an abundance of Strawberries, grapes,
etc.-as one of the ties to attach chill
dren to the farm,by making it the best
place on earth. We also advise it for
its influence upon the young,in teaching
them to observe Still the main reason
for keeping bees is, the ''sweet tooth )" if
that be gratifed, all other benefits will
follow. The way to begin beck keep
ing, is to begin small. If one pro-
cures single colony, in a modern,
movable comb-hive, and by the aid
of one of the standard works (such
as Quinby's,) cares for that colony
and its increase during the season,
he will have knowledge of bee-keep-
ing that will enable him to manage
many hives, and which will enable him,
if he should so elect, 10 keep bees for
profit One piece of advice should be
Needed by all beginners Do not begin
bee-keeping unless with the determina-
ton to give it that thought and care
which will make it success. Nothing
can be more Improbable and democrat
izing than a neglected apiary. Begin,
then, with a single hive, and expert
enced bee-keepers are agreed that this
is the proper month in which to begin.

LIE ave taking.

Few have learned the art OF leaving
in an appropriate manner. When YOU
are about 10 depart do SO at once,
gracefully and politely and with no
dallying. Don't say Its about time |
was going" and then talk aimlessly for
ten minutes. Some people have just
such a tresome habit. They Will even
rise and stand about the room in vari-
Gus attitudes, keeping their host also
standing, and then by an effort
succeed in getting as far as the hall,
when a new thought strikes them. They
brighten visibly, and stand for some
minutes longer, saying nothing of i'm
portance, but keeping everybody in a
restless state. After the door iSopen-
ed leave-taking begins and everybody
in general and particular is invited to
call. Very likelya last thought strikes
the departing visitor which his friend
must risk a cold TO hear to the end.
What relief when the door is finally
closed There no need Of being otiens-
lively abrupt, but when you are ready
to 60, go.

Looking at Both Sides.

The good wife hustled about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile.
As broken snatches Of happy song
Strengthened her heart and her hands the
while;
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
His little clay pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made and all he had lost
Ready and clear on his finger tips.
Good wife, l have just been thinking bit;
Nothing has done very well this year.
Money is bound to be hard to get,
Everything's sure to be very dear.
How the cattle are going 70 feed,
How were to keep the oys at school,
Is kind of a debit and credit sum
| can't make balance by any rule
She turned her around from the baking board
And she faced him there with cheerful
laugh
"Why, husband dear, one would really think
That the good, rich wheat was only cbaff.
And what il wheat is only chat,
So long as we both are well and strongf
I'm not "A woman to worry a bit
But somehow or other We get along.
Unto all the lives some rain must fall.
over all lands the storm must beat
But when the storm and pain are DER
The sunshine is sure to be twice as sweet.
Through every strait we have found road,
In every grief we have found n song,
We have had to bear and had to wait,
But. somehow or other, we get along.
For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befell;
Six boys have called us father and mother.
And all of them living and doing well.
We owe no man penny, my dear;
Are both of Us loving and well and strong,
Good man. wish you would smoke again.
And think how well we have got along"
He filled his pipe with pleasant laugh.
lie kissed his wife with tender pride;
He said: 'Ill do rs you tell me. love;
I'll lust count up on the other side.
She left him then with his better thought.
And lifted her work with low, sweet song.
\ song that's followed me many year
somehow or other we get along"

The coming wife, lin her intercourse
with those of her own sex, will be sure
to converse Of things, and not of peo-
pie. Scandal and gossip will not be
her daily bread. She will select her
friends from among high-minded and
intelligent women, thus she will keep
her body and mind healthy, and her
heart forever young. And lovely old
age will creep on almost impercepti-
bly,, and she will be a comfort to her
children, and "they shall rise up and
call her blessed" And when the sum-
mons shall come to go up higher, she
will hear His voice say, "Well done,
good and faithful servant, enter into
